Advent Day 9: Night Tree and wild bird treats

Night Tree is about a family that has a Christmas Eve tradition of going into the woods and decorating a living tree with food for wild animals. A wonderful combination of author and illustrator, this book is always a favorite in our house. If you'd like to make additional wild bird treats check here for some ideas.

Step 1: Using a double strand of thread, string a peanut on first and tie a knot around it at the end - this will keep the other items from sliding off.

Step 2: Start adding the dried fruits, cranberries, and peanuts to your garland until you are about 5" from the end.

Step 3: Finish with another peanut and a knot.

Step 4: Hang in your trees or some place that birds will visit and enjoy.
